I2APM Events Activities
International Symposium and Training Day 2016
The first I2APM International Symposium and Training Day, hosted by CMAC, took place in the Technology and Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow on 30th Nov-1st December 2016. Researchers and academics from the founding members of I2APM: RCPE, C-SOPS and CMAC participated.
The event was opened with talks from Prof Johannes Kinast (RCPE), Prof Alberto Cuitino (Rutgers), and CMAC Industrial Director Craig Johnston who gave overviews of each centre, while CMAC Centre Manager Andrea Johnston provided an I2APM update.
The other delegates each presented a short talk on their research and exhibited posters before participating in discussions and social activities with the goal of initiating new collaborations.
The second day included training sessions from each of the three centres with a focus on different aspects of continuous manufacturing, as well as further opportunities to propose research collaborations going forward. There are plans for researcher exchanges to take place between the three centres in future as a result of this event. The symposium was a wonderful opportunity to get to know international colleagues and to develop new collaborations. Many thanks to those who organised and participated, and made the event a huge success.
